1598, Pics of my new baby!

Yeah, i broke down and bought a nicer daily driver. I might actually keep the Eclipse now that I got such a good deal on this very comfortable, loaded car.

It's a 1999 Acura Integra GS-R 4 door. The perfect daily driver.

My brother had one, but a 2-door. I liked the car in general, but I didn't like they way I sat in it, or where the shifter was. I guess it didn't have that sporty cockpit I like of the 2g.

thanks, i paid 7000 and the car has 140k. it's been well maintained, the engine is due for "refreshening" in about 30-40k, i might act sooner. I can have it built solid and over 200hp for about 2,000 bux.

I've always had a problem with the Integra because it was made as a 4 door. I don't know why, but it never felt "right" to me. Imagine a 4 door Eclipse.

I'm glad you like it. KBB is $5,600 in good condition, so I guess $7,000 isn't too bad. Drive that thing into the ground. :)

Partial reasoning behind my adoration for this car is the $1100 Tein SS suspension that's on it. The car would whoop my Eclipse's ass in the squirrelies. And it's so smooth.

Nice beater! Hope it doesn't get stolen. Those things get carjacked here pretty often.

LOL! Yeah right. Ask Evan how "great" they handle. The tires aren't the only thing that rolls on those things...

Ditto!

Good job. I'll join both (or more) of you in the twisties, but I'll have to borrow my sister's soon to be new car. The Jetta with the sport package. If I take MY soon to be new car I'd need a tow truck and some bandages because I'll have rolled the fucker.

I'll just stand there and make goofy drunken faces at you guys.

Sweet new ride Jon. I have always wanted a GSR or SI after I took a ride in my friend's hatch w/ a b16 in it. First gear seems to never end on those cars. I forgot you where my facebook buddy.

Handles like it's on rails? If his suspension is anything like my Tein flex's I wouldnt doubt it.
